CBODN FALL MENTORING PROGRAM KICKS OFF IN SEPTEMBER!

Sign up by September 16th to participate in the Fall 2024 session! 


This fall, CBODN will once again offer a mentoring program for professionals coming into and expanding their practices within the field of OD.  This program is designed to provide a mentoring experience for CBODN members and non-members that is enriching and educational for all involved.  

About the Program:   

  • Group mentoring will involve 3-5 people working together with a mentor on topics of interest to the mentees. 
  • The mentees’ role is to contribute to the questions and content that the group will cover. 
  • The mentor’s role is to hold space for the group’s conversation, ensuring the experience is inclusive and allows for active participation by all. 
  • Each group will aim to meet every other week, 5 times over 10 weeks. 
  • Topics will be generated by the group’s participants, including offers to share with the group and requests for knowledge or information. Every individual participating in a group will serve as a source of knowledge and support to the group as a whole, and not just the person in the mentor role. 
  • Each group will create its own contract around confidentiality and sharing of each other’s contact information.
  • The program will conclude with a feedback request in hopes of improving future rounds of this work!
